### 4. Overview

These objects are used to control and manage a BGP-4 implementation.

Apart from a few system-wide scalar objects, this MIB is broken into three tables: the BGP Peer Table, the BGP Received Path Attribute Table, and the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table. The BGP Peer Table contains information about state and current activity of connections with the BGP peers. The Received Path Attribute Table contains path attributes received from all peers running BGP version 3 or less. The BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table contains path attributes received from all BGP-4 peers. The actual attributes used in determining a route are a subset of the received attribute tables after local routing policy has been applied.
